The Magento image compression module will automatically compress jpeg, png, gif product images used in Magento without quality loss.
If there are pictures placed in skin and media directories, you can use CLI (command line interface) to compress them.
Additional settings to make your page optimized
Minify your CSS and JavaScript
Remove all irrelevant new lines, comments, white spaces and other characters without affecting your source code. Make your JavaScript code cleaner by enabling the CSS and JavaScript minification settings. If there are any minification errors appear, the enabled debug setting will let you add minification errors to log file.
CSS/JS files URLs with a timestamp
This feature helps clear page cache automatically after changes in CSS or JavaScript files. This will allow clients to see only updated content. As well, URLs can be specified as a source for minification to avoid possible issues with the file content encoding.
Move JavaScript to the page footer
To increase content loading speed, the Magento 1 image compression extension moves JavaScript to footer so that the pages can load in faster.
